Bracket in stud, in wall, or elsewhere?
Had this under the wrong profile... I deleted that and now here under mine. So.... trying to put a shelf up in the laundry room. This shelf will be 30" long.... Trying to decide location of bracket while balancing load bearing and aesthetics. Will be using bracket pictured. Shelf will have to hold a decent amount of weight. See wall picture... studs are located at the blue tape on the left... and blue tape right next to the cabinet on the right. was thinking of putting a bracket on the stud (tape on the left) and then in the location of the other piece of tape.. 11 1/2" from the cabinet.. using toggler snaptoggle anchors.... so somewhat evenly spaced..... but that seems like the brackets are too close to the center and the ends of the shelf with rod wouldn't be supported..... Or do I put a bracket right against the wall on the left and then in the stud that is right against the cabinet on the right? Or... way overkill and do 4 brackets? One on each end and then the two spaced evenly.... for aesthetics? https://preview.redd.it/401saom2fooe1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fd61cb4c0f71f0fe7b3cc8b0104f0a72fb305e2 https://preview.redd.it/8y7bc75ffooe1.jpg?width=639&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c564e1c0649e3514be152e90c5fc87f5bd6489c submitted by /u/exeter_acres [link] [comments]
